Avocado Fries
Description
The recipe begins by cutting ripe but firm avocados into wedges, removing the skins, and dredging each slice through flour, beaten eggs, and a panko breadcrumb mixture seasoned with coriander, cumin, and sea salt. Drizzled with olive oil, the fries bake in a hot oven until crisp and browned.
This preparation results in a contrast between the crunchy, flavorful crust and the smooth, soft avocado interior. Baking rather than frying offers a lighter way to enjoy fried avocado texture while maintaining a satisfying crispness. The coriander and cumin add subtle earthy spices that pair well with the mild avocado taste.
These avocado fries work well as appetizers, snacks, or a side dish. They are commonly served with a dipping sauce such as chipotle ranch to add creamy, smoky, and tangy notes that complement the fried coating and avocado. The oven method eliminates the need for deep frying while producing a crisp finish.
For air fryer preparation, bake at 390°F for about 10 to 13 minutes, flipping once, to achieve a similar crispy result. This option reduces added oil and can be more convenient. Monitoring the fries to avoid overcooking helps maintain the creamy avocado interior.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 egg beaten, large
- 2 avocado ripe but firm, large
- extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
- chipotle ranch or desired dipping sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized shallow dish, stir together the panko, coriander, cumin, and salt. Place the flour in a small bowl and place the egg in a separate small bowl.
- Cut the avocados lengthwise into 8 slices and peel the skins. Dip each slice in the flour, flipping to coat and shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg, and then the panko mixture.
- Place onto the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Notes
- To air fry, cook the avocado fries at 390°F for 10-13 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
- Use firm yet ripe avocados to maintain slice shape during coating and baking.
- The seasoned panko blend with coriander and cumin provides subtle spice notes complementing the avocado.
